Today we left the canal boat and drove down to Bath. We spent the afternoon in the Village and took a tour of the Baths. Apart from the Baths, Bath is a lovely place and so are the surrounding villages. Tonight we are spending the night in a little village called Lower Langford. We're staying in an Inn with a huge spa bath, hot hairdryer and lots of running water....hurrah!

Day One Our first day in Washington. Mike had to take the rental car back and it took about four hours. Road works meant a diversion so he got lost....we worried a little but he finally turned up at lunch time.We went to the Air and Space museum this afternoon. The older boys were very interested but George found it a little hard to concentrate. We walked down to the Capitol, got some photos then came back to the hotel.
